Q: How do I view Amphybian Enbryology tutorial videos over the internet?

A: To look at movies on the web you need:

A direct internet connection. Most colleges and universities have full-time, dedicated internet connections which faculty, staff and students may use. Alternatively, one can gain internet access through one's business or over phone lines through a local internet access provider. However, shell acounts and text-only browsers will not let you see graphics or movies. You must have a full internet connection or a PPP/DSL/Cable connection. Alternatively, you can use simulation program such as TIA if you only have a shell acount. Be aware, however that phone line connections can be slow, and our movies and images can take some time (many minutes) to download over a phone line. To really browse the movies, try to find a direct internet connection.

A graphical browser program such as Netscape, Mozilla, or Internet Explorer. Browsers are programs you run on your local Mac, or PC computer that allows you to browse through the internet's graphical environment.
